The Bottom Line:

But as apple pie cookie
Very delicious
A recent trip to the store found me coming home with a
couple different types of Pepperidge Farm limited edition cookies. Of them, the Caramel Apple Pie are by far my
favorites.
I must admit, I was hesitant at first about getting
them. I'm not the biggest fan of
apples. But I love cooked apples and
apple pie, so I decided to give them a shot.
And they do taste remarkably like apple pie. The spices are just perfect, and the little
bits of apple really do give it that flavor.
The cookies are soft and chewy, so it's a delicious snack your tongue
will love.
You'll notice I left out part of the title in my
description. Despite the fact that there
are caramel bits in the cookies, you really don't notice them that much. I noticed a little bit, but not enough to
really make it part of the name of the cookie.
If these were called Apple Pie cookies, I would have no problem.
Yet I really do like these cookies. The disappointment over the lack of caramel
isn't as bad as I expected it to be.
Frankly, I'm a little surprised since I do love caramel.
Like all Pepperidge Farm cookies, these are an expensive
treat. A bag of 8 cookies cost me close
to $3 at my local Wal-Mart. No, this
isn't in my normal budget. I was just
curious enough about the flavor I had to give it a try.
These are cookies.
Are you remotely surprised that just one cookie has 130 calories? I'm not.
45 of those are from fat. And you
can't justify the little bits of Calcium and Iron you'd get here. These are just plain bad for you. That's why they taste so good.
A look at the ingredients shows the usual suspects of flour,
several kinds of sugar, butter…all those things that make these taste so good
but aren't really good for you. Yes,
they do have apple bits in them, but they're half way down the ingredients
list, so you know how much each cookie actually contains.
